Description
An extensively developed area with lots of blank looking bolted slab routes. A good winter crag since it faces north and gets the sun from about 10am onwards. Despite the low angle of some of the rock, most of the routes here look to be in the middle grades. The slab is surprisingly blank for Sydney sandstone, so it's a great place to practice friction climbing. Be careful of the bolts here - while most are quite well set, many are pretty rusty from continual water runoff from the top. Take a couple of long slings for the belays - there are no belay bolts on top of the crag. The top of the crag is quite loose, helmets are highly recommended!
Limit. de l'accès
Be very careful of cars (and trail bike hoons) since you will be belaying on the road for most of the routes.
Approche
To get there, drive out along the Putty Rd until you reach the Colo River bridge. Turn left (west) onto the Upper Colo Rd and follow it for about 4.5kms. The crag looms up over the road to the left
Où dormir
Colo river campground is nearby, and for a municipal campsite, very pleasant. A good place to base yourself for exploring the area. http://www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au/services/places-and-facilities/upper-colo-camping
Historique
Graphique de l'historique des voies
The crag was apparently developed back in the 1980s by Nat Nicholas, but unfortunately all of the information seems to have disappeared (along with Nat). The following names, grades and descriptions are therefore not the original ones. If anyone has any info, please update this.
